First of all see whether you have a standard Google account. Confirm whether the
account is only used for business purpose not for your personal purpose if you don’t have any
specific account for business you can create one. Next step is to see whether you have business profile on Google or not Business profile is different from Google My business accounts as business profile sometimes already exist you don’t need to create them. But the issue is that
business owner has no control over this business profile until and unless he or she claims this
business through Google my business account. You can search your business profile by simply
searching on Google maps if your business appears with address it means that it already existed
on business profile. Business profile usually already existed because any people or computer can
add this on Google. If you don’t have business profile click on the option of add a missing place
and provide the information.

Next step is you need to claim for your business profile that is available on Google. Once you claimed you will receive a verification option you can verify through mail as most
local business verify via mail but you can verify via phone call, email, search console or video
recording.

Once you verified they will ask you to make any changes in the information if needed that are not provided already.it take few weeks for your business information to be visible on
Google.

Once the information is available you can check it on your business profile. To find your business profile search with your business name or through city name in Google map or Google search engine. The result of search may vary from person due to various reasons. After claiming your business profile when you choose the option of verification through mail they send you a postcard that has a unique verification code to confirm that your business is listed on the above address you add this verification code.

Don’t change your business name location or category and avoid making request of new code while waiting for verification code via mail.

If you made certain changes in information or requested for new code so they will cancel that code and will send you another one to protect the integrity of your business profile. Once you have entered the code now you have the full authority to manage reviews, add attractive images, details and update information when needed to improve your business marketing.
